My wife is a middle school teacher and I 100% feel your pain through her.

So yeah… I noticed you haven’t filed your TPS reports this week.

I’ve had two QNAP NAS fail on me, never again. The first failed shortly after the 3-year warranty expired and was MSRP $600. The second failed right before warranty expiration with MSRP $1200 thinking a better unit would be less prone to fail, but alas.

Thankfully I was able to RMA to get my data back (proprietary RAID), and while waiting on RMA to return, built a custom TrueNAS server I can service all parts on myself for around the same cost of a new NAS. Sold the RMA unit on eBay to recoup some cost as well. All I ever ran on those units was Plex and Samba\NFS file shares. Never again.

As a parent with kids who are starting to dip their roles into the digital age, I would also say this is mainly a parenting issue, but the economic “squeeze” is the other part.

There are so many tools available to manage the content your kids consume - ad blockers, family accounts with monitoring and management, ect. I may be biased as I’m in the IT profession, but if you live in this digital age and claim ignorance on anything technology related then it’s no wonder we are on the state we are in.

Many of the responsibilities the US government agencies used to take on themselves have been eroded to be handled by the individual, coupled with a subscription society for the or day to day appliances and tools we use. After working a full time job M-F, and if I don’t have after hours tasks to handle I get maybe 1 hour worth of family before it’s time to pack it up for the night. Weekends are typically house work or chores. I consider myself fortunate to have that much. Squeeze in management of my kids content intake and that’s just more time taken away from everything else on the list.

I’ll do it though because I’ll be damned if my kids grow up like these kids are now.

About as well as Jan. 6th. I can’t believe the country just forgot about that too.

So you’re telling me Harvard may be home base for a modern day revolution when it comes. Noted!

But doesn’t this mean you now have to get a passport card if you took their last name?

Then you and your friends are accepting of the problem.

CDPR already released a statement that CP2077 will be released on a 64GB cart. Safe to assume the whole base game will be physical which is a plus.

It could be considered easier on a social level but makes it an I technological nightmare considering everything is based on standard time in IT systems.

Who the fuck cares about DST? My bad for sharing an opinion on the internet, but go ahead and keep hating from across the pond.

Proton is amazing though. I got Lego LotR working on my steam deck by installing some DirectX 9 dependency to fix a graphical glitch with the game. Runs like a dream.

Meanwhile, Ohio wants to keep DST as their standard which is infuriating.

I understand wanting more light in the northern hemisphere early in the day. It adds safety for school children mostly in the winter months, but I don’t understand why we can’t just change the start and end times of school to coordinate more light at those crucial times of day.

What instance did you go to then? I don’t keep up on “the best” instances, or those that defederate or block certain things. I was part of kbin.social at first, then moved to .world.

I mean, that sucks but I run pihole on my network and don’t have any injected ads on my Samsung displays, and all base functionality I need works without issue.

I don’t believe so. Trump has only further enabled them and taught them that what they say has no bearing on votes received.

The worse part is the tail needs removed to remove the poop vein, unless you want to spend another 30 seconds per shrimp fishing it out as well.

No. Please. Stop.

After I kbin.socials constant issues I moved to Leemy.world and like it a lot better. I miss magazines as opposed to communities, but it’s pot-ato po-tato and there don’t seem to be any outages.
